🌍 International Infection Prevention Week 🧼

This week is International Infection Prevention Week, a great opportunity to highlight the simple steps we can all take to protect ourselves, our colleagues, and the people we support across Wiltshire.

At Wiltshire Support at Home, infection prevention is a vital part of keeping our customers safe, well, and independent in their own homes. From effective hand hygiene and use of PPE to ensuring equipment is cleaned correctly, our teams work hard every day to reduce the spread of infection.

✅ Wash your hands regularly
✅ Cover coughs and sneezes
✅ Stay up to date with vaccinations
✅ Clean frequently touched surfaces
✅ Stay home when unwell where possible

By taking these simple preventative measures, we can help protect some of the most vulnerable members of our communities and reduce avoidable illness and pressure on health and care services.

A huge thank you to all our dedicated staff who continue to champion safe, high-quality care every day. 💙

💊📚 Investing in Safe Medication Practice 📚💊

Last week, managers from across our services attended one of several planned Managers Medication Administration training sessions, with further sessions scheduled over the coming months.

Our managers spent the day enhancing their knowledge of medication administration, exploring current legislation, guidance, best practice, and the vital role they play in supporting safe medication management across our services.

These sessions, delivered annualy, are designed to give managers the confidence and expertise to effectively support frontline staff, promote safe practice, and ensure customers receive the highest standard of care possible.

Continuous learning is key to maintaining quality services, and it's fantastic to see our managers engaging in opportunities that strengthen both leadership and clinical knowledge.

👏 Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the discussions and shared learning 🌟

🌟 Health Observation training 🌟

In recent weeks, our team has completed their annual Health Observation Training, strengthening the skills and knowledge needed to respond confidently to Telecare activations and emergency situations.

Following this training, our Mobile Responders can attend customers after a Lifeline activation, carry out comprehensive health observations, and identify any immediate concerns that may require intervention.

By providing timely assessments and appropriate support, the team helps customers remain safe, well, and independent in their own homes. This proactive and preventative approach enables early identification of health concerns, reducing the risk of deterioration, avoiding unnecessary hospital admissions, and helping to ease demand on emergency and urgent care services.

Through rapid response and professional assessment, we are committed to delivering the right support at the right time, ensuring customers receive the care they need while remaining at home 💙🏡
